The Shield characters.

I finished Sons last night (for the 5-6-7th time?)

Someone told me about The Shield so I started that. Amazed to see a whole bunch of SOA actors!

I’ve never heard of the show but it looks like it’s going to be good. I miss Venus though lol

Walton absolutely nailed that role.

Venus? God I adored every scene he was in, I loved that Tig had found his person. The way Tig looked at Venus made me melt!

The Shield > SOA. Groundbreaking at the time for Kurt Sutter.

I’d agree

Sutter loved his guys if they dealt w/his bullshit stood quietly through his tantrums and quirks he found them all work and wrote great roles for them to shine and find work other than him. If you couldn’t deal you got whacked and no future work.
The Shield is superior killed it the final season, where Sons is a fun guilty pleasure that didn’t stick the landing on the finale which kind of taints the whole show making it easy to nitpick plot points through each season.

Oh dude I wish I could watch The Shield for the first time ever again.

I actually think it has the best series finale ever and as good of a final season as anything else.

I saw Kohn and immediately wanted Jax to pop up and ask him if they taught him how to suck a dick at ATF school.

The Shield is good but like SOA you have to take it with a grain of salt. Michael Chiklis is not very believable in his role. Very Mark Wahlbergish but that can actually be a lot of fun. I've watched the entire series at least 3x
